    Summary

    As the rest of the song played, Mike realised he couldn’t do this anymore. He really couldn’t. His hands trembled as he reached for the glove compartment. There, he kept a gun.

    You can say it’s just the way you are
    Make a new excuse, another stupid reason

    Summary

    “You seem to be doing just fine for yourself.”

    Part of Mike means it to be a sharp and defensive quip, but it comes out as sad as it really is. Will’s eyes are glassy and round and unfairly innocent. Big doe eyes pinning Mike in place. Mike can never escape their gaze.

    “What else am I supposed to do?”

    Wait for me. Mike can’t say that. He’s been selfish enough. He should’ve said it months ago, should’ve sat Will down and told him everything at graduation, but he didn’t. Now he’s too late. He can never grasp the time that slipped away from him.

    or: Mike visits Will in college and realizes just how much has changed. Will is moving on. Mike can't do the same. Everything has changed, except that Mike is still in love with him.

    Summary

    At first, Mike was unsure how to approach him when he got like this. But they’ve been living together for months now, never further than five feet apart in their dorm beds, so Mike’s learned what works and what doesn’t.

    It works when he wakes Will like this, with gentle hands and words, telling him he’s safe. It works when he climbs into Will’s warm bed, turning him on his side and curling up against his back, an arm over his waist and his cheek pressed against his shoulder. They lie together like that until Will’s hiccupping gasps soften into steady breaths, until Mike feels him go limp in his arms and he knows he’s fallen back asleep. It always works.

    or: Will has nightmares and Mike is the only one who can console him. Not even Will's boyfriend can. Mike takes great pride in this fact.

    OR
